Getting connected to the Dark Web was a very important matter, so Lu Chengzhou made a backup plan as well. If the other party refused to cooperate with them no matter what, they would resort to violence to save time.
Lu Chengzhou had pretty detailed information about the influential Dark Web, which was started up on Jijing Island. Although Lan Sha had business dealings with Base 102, he didn’t have many connections with the Elders’ Association.
The Dark Web was a neutral international trading site that didn’t meddle in other countries’ affairs. It was because of their strict confidentiality rules that made the different forces feel at ease doing business with them.
According to Lu Chengzhou’s information, Lan Sha had a way of getting into Base 102. Despite having made a backup plan, he didn’t really want to resort to violence and hoped that they could calmly talk things over. However, that was dependent on the other party’s cooperation level.
Things were very bustling at the underground market’s annual auction with the rich gathering there. Private yachts were constantly docking at their arranged spots at the island’s biggest port. Each yacht had their own logo, but Lu Chengzhou’s yacht didn’t have one, which meant that their identities were unknown to others.
Lu Chengzhou, He Yidu, and Qin Fang were wearing black masks and black, navy blue, and brown coats respectively. They were the classic definition of scions who were here to play darts with their classy yet lazy and arrogant dispositions.
Many rich men’s female partners looked their way, but nobody could ever imagine that the trio were actually the heads of the fear-inducing Red Flame.
While walking next to Lu Chengzhou, Lu Yī whispered to him, “Young Master Lu, the IT team has successfully hacked into the island’s network and wifi. Our people have also arrived in batches.”
Lu Chengzhou nodded.
“Have you been here before?” He Yidu glanced at Qin Fang before admiring the island’s scenery with interest.
“How could I have possibly been here before when you haven’t? Don’t we do everything together?” responded Qin Fang with a cocked eyebrow. Even our families suspect that something is wrong with us.
Speechless, He Yidu widened the gap between him and Qin Fang while wearing a disdainful look on his face.
Meanwhile, Lu Chengzhou was chatting with Gu Mang over message and telling her to dress warmly since the weather had become colder.
The trio then got into a car.
To be deemed as Jijing Island’s sub-island, it naturally was quite developed. Although its infrastructure can’t be compared to Jijing Island’s, it was on par with the big cities in the world.
In the southwest of the island were the iconic twin towers. These skyscrapers were triangular in shape and were 42-story high, and they belonged to the Dark Web. In the middle of the twin towers was a three-story building with an underground basement—this was where the auction was held as well as the infamous underground market.
The twin towers’ car park was filled with luxury cars tonight as the people who came were all people with status and background.
Lu Chengzhou’s Rolls-Royce limousine came to a stop at the twin towers’ car park. The group of people alighted from the car and followed the rest of the people who came for the auction to the entrance.
While they were waiting to have their tickets checked, they ran into some acquaintances of theirs. Two groups of them, in fact. One of the groups was Elder Ye and Ye Junci’s niece, Ye You. It wasn’t unusual to see members of the Ye family appearing in an auction like this.
“Young Master.” Elder Ye bowed respectfully toward Lu Chengzhou.
Ye You also graciously greeted Lu Chengzhou with a smile. “Chengzhou.”
Lu Chengzhou nodded. “Cousin.”
“Gu Mang didn’t come with you?” The fact that Ye You called Gu Mang by her name showed that she didn’t see her as an outsider.
“She has something on tonight,” replied Lu Chengzhou while slipping his hand into his pocket.
The two then chatted while making their way further inside the venue. Before going, Lu Chengzhou turned back to see Yun Ling and Lin Shuang standing together with He Yidu and Qin Fang.
“Rich lady,” greeted Qin Fang casually.
Lin Shuang pulled down the black mask to her chin. “Why are you guys here too?”
Qin Fang answered, “We’re here to see if there’s anything fun going on.”
Lin Shuang naturally didn’t believe his words. How could Lu Chengzhou possibly be in the mood to attend the auction? They even got me to hack Dark Web’s system previously; they must be here for a reason. Lan Sha usually oversees the auctions of this scale.
He Yidu gently asked, “If you’d mentioned earlier that you were coming, we could’ve come together.”
“I go where the action is,” said Lin Shuang nonchalantly with a raised eyebrow
While they were chatting away, the underground market’s staff was done checking their tickets. The group then proceeded inside.
It was two hours away before the auction started, but people were already making their way into the venue.
Meanwhile, the yacht that Lan Sha sent to pick Gu Mang had just docked at the port.
